Wild kitties and chocolate!

Hello from Emily.   I hope everyone is had a relaxing weekend.  Perhaps you may recall that last week I had a great deal of fun climbing onto the top of an extra mattress!

 I am a mighty huntress.  See how I stalk my Mom/prey from atop my perch which towers over my kingdom!
 Sometimes even mighty jungle kitties have to rest--right!  Well, my fun is now gone.   The old mattress is no more.  

The new bed is OK ...it's comfy.   I do miss  being able to tower over Mom and terrify her at night by jumping down on the bed with a mighty thud!   *sigh*
So, the Mom had a fun weekend!  She went with some friends out for breakfast and then a bit of shopping.   Of course they went to a bookstore.  However, they also went to a Lindt chocolate outlet store!

 Behold-an entire bin of Lindt chocolate coins!
The Lindt valentine candy was also on sale.   Mom tried very hard to be good.  She just brought home 6 wrapped Lindt chocolates.  They were all flavors she had never heard of before like coffee, coconut and citrus!


 Hi now from Winston.   See how I guard Mom's present.   She is becoming another year older later this week.   Her family came early to help her deal with this by giving her gifts!  One of her presents was a new tea kettle !
Hooray!
Then, more shopping:



 Mom said she really wanted to buy this tin of shortbread for the kitties in kilts!  But she couldn't justify it because: (1) she already has two wild kitties and (2) the chocolates from the Lindt store were still in her cupboard!


 She fell in love with that large yellow mixing bowl.   It reminds her of her Nana's kitchen.   Her Nana had a wood stove and would sometimes make chicken and dumplings and homemade bread.   Mom said that homemade bread with melting butter is one of her favorite memories.  Honestly, kitties, humans are complicated all those memories from one yellow bowl!



 Mom was also quite twiterpated with this silly Easter bunny pillow!   I'm almost embarrassed on Mom's behalf!   However, I did approve of this fierce dragon puppet she saw at a toy store!
Fierce, yes?!

 Well, felines, I will close for now!   Our Mom had fun but all that visiting tuckered her out!
Purrs from Emily and Winston!

  1. Oh, we like that bed frame. It's quite pretty. But your mattress...! How could it get taken away from you? Such thoughtlessness. PS: happy birthday to your Mom.

    1. Hi there-I saw it in a Marshalls/HomeSense store. The two stores share the same space. Those kitties are super cute.
